Navigation Systems, Architects and Engineers

Interactive multimedia (IMM) navigation systems rely on two key non-graphical components, a schematic or architectural framework and an associated programming solution. Two primary framework types are recognized – branching (structured) and referential (unstructured) – although most navigation systems include elements of both. Programmed solutions to navigational frameworks typically display va...

Architects and Engineers Differences: A comparison between problem solving performances of architects and engineers in the ideation phase of an analogy-based design

This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...

Material Production for an EST Course: Coursebook Design for the English Training Programme for Architects and Civil Engineers

This paper presents the material production of an EST (English for Science and Technology) course in an English training programme for architects and civil engineers. The programme was specially designed for the construction professionals whose needs were investigated and analysed by the trainers, ESP (English for Specific Purposes) specialists from the British Council and Chinese counterparts....

The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers

B-spline curves and surfaces and their suitability for ship hull surface definition are discussed. A comparison with other curve and surface definition methods, e.g., cubic splines, Bézier curves, parabolic blending is given. Their use both for ab initio curve and surface generation and for fitting existing offset data is discussed. Comparisons of the data storage requirements are made. The uti...
